LONDON, June 30. - Oscar Wilde, who is confined in Pentonville prison, is in good health, but the doctors have prohibited his being put on the treadmill. Consequently, he is kept picking oakum, but it is understood that he will soon be put to making matches. Recently he asked a friend to send him St. Augustine's works and some historical books.

Wilde’s plays are about to make their reappearance in the English theaters in London. The Grand Theater announces the production of "The Ideal Husband," and prints the author’s name in large letters on the bill.
